MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 20° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 41 ft instead of holding it level.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 41 ft and held there instead of being let down.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 89 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York, United States. The takeoff distance was 1,961 meters, which accounted for 92% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but the aircraft had a headwind of 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Jackson Heights, New York, and the aircraft ascended from 698 feet above sea level to 35,127 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,430 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 189 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile west of Morrisdale, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,528 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 5 miles northwest of Benchmark Airport (3U7) in Montana, and the aircraft descended from 34,211 feet above sea level to 4,101 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,110 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at Glacier Park International Airport (KFCA) was made from the northeast, heading 221.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,103 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 20 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 90 meters and a touchdown speed of 123 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard at -540 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 240 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 891 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,795 nautical miles and took 55 minutes to complete, using 11,842 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KFCA Glacier Park Intl airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,103 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 20, which has a length of 2,434 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 126 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 90 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 123 knots was also within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -540 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a need for further improvement in the landing technique.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.6 meters, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 891 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
